Personal life


Hill grew up in Camillus, New York, a small suburb outside Syracuse, New York.[1][2] She was raised by her single mother in a primarily white neighborhood.[1]

Hill is divorced and has one son.[2][1] She also has a brother.[2]


Career


When Hill moved to Los Angeles, she found work as an extra on television for shows such as Living Single.[1]

She joined Black Eyed Peas after meeting them backstage at a BMI showcase in 1995.[3] She also signed to will.i.am's label I Am Music (an imprint of Interscope Records). Hill got to realize her childhood dream of performing on Soul Train when Black Eyed Peas were asked to perform in 1998.[4][1] Hill signed a solo deal with Interscope Records in 1998, but she later ended up releasing the record on her own.[5] As the merger of Interscope's parent company Universal Music Group and PolyGram took full effect, Hill resisted pressure by Interscope to over-sexualize her image. She left the band in 2000,[3][6] and was later replaced by Fergie in 2002.[1]

Hill has since begun performing as a solo artist, and she occasionally acts in indie projects.[7]

Hill began DJing in 2008.[5]

Hill crowdfunded her cosmetic line, Next of Kim, in November 2018.[2]
